Footage shows a falling iceberg in Greenland, and the resulting refractory waves it creates; big-wave surfer Ridge Lenny ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

Every time a glacier collapses in Antarctica, does a penguin get its wings? Bad jokes aside, Antarctica, the large ice continent on the underside of the earth, is home to many penguins and many ...

When looking at a surf forecast, there are several key factors to take into consideration, including swell direction, swell height, tide times, wind speed and wind direction. If you can understand ...

This video explains why a wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another, in a process called refraction. The change in direction of a refracted wave can be drawn using a ray diagram ...

(a) Schematic of the Timoshenko-Ehrenfest beam-based reconfigurable elastic metasurface (TREM) for multifunctional wave manipulation (total reflection, self-acceleration, wave focusing, and anomalous ...

There are many glorious science-based terms when it comes to surfing. We all talk about swells, of course, the underwater energy that creates a breaking wave. But we'll look at swell angles and ...
